Doogie Howser, M.D. - Complete First Season DVD

In Stores Now

I like the way Anchor Bay is doing their TV DVDs with simple straight interviews with the talent. This way, you get raw comments without sitting through a bunch of fluff. There’s not even a background, just the talent on a black screen.

The Neil Patrick Harris is cool. He’s honest and thoughtful about some of the pitfalls of doing the show, and some of the funny memories of the show’s demands, from dancing to making out.

The Stephen Bochco interview goes in depth into the development of the show, collaboration with David E. Kelly, casting Neil Patrick Harris and the themes of the show. It’s a bit of a dry interview because this is a writer/producer, not necessarily an on camera person. But he’s not boring and you get to find out the original plans for a final season that never was.
